Bitcoin Forum

This is the second (https://i.imgur.com/q1aR9Ee.jpg) time I have spotted a BTC sign on ESPN. Guess I am the only one watching Game Day on Saturday. War Eagle!!

Pretty soon BitPay or Coinbase will be a sponsor of ESPN 8 The "Ocho"!

"If it's almost a currency, then it's on 'the Ocho.'"

Is he the same person who was given 0.38 from this kind of advertising?

Haha that's so awesome. I'll try to send a buck his way today just for the kitty picture

lol. I gave him a dollar... Its always good to see Bitcoin in the news. Wish he would have written "Bitcoin" instead of just the symbol.

He got 0.2 in the past few hours! Good on him.

0.6 btc is not a bad amount for this effort..! Although I missed it on tv but I'm sure it wasn't on screen for more than 2second. Just wait for the day when someone related to Bitcoin will sponsor those events.

~0.56 received so far, that's awesome, good for him.
I hope that got some people at the game asking about the sign & Bitcoin, and learning about it subsequently.
Also, Instant conversation starter for anyone there who already knows about BTC!

EDIT: I sent him 0.001 for helping to spread BTC awareness  8)
Rock on.

Seems that it is some sort of mainstream.

The last sign that went up received 27 000 bitcoins, correct me if i'm wrong.

What happened to this one?

Not really. Probably just some redditors who are strapped for cash. Got the idea, shared it on reddit. Profit.

I also was convinced by the kitty.

@cccarnation- Please don't spam by copy/pasting other members' posts word for word...  ::)

Maybe more like $27k in BTC at the time of the high value.

Cmon folks - if we want bitcoin to get more exposure, we are going to have to pay these guys better.  .6 is not enough.  Please be a little more generous and send this guy a $10 at least to make it worth their while.  Then more guys will try.  Then more reporters will talk about it.  Then more people will understand bitocin.  Then your value will go up.  It is like paying yourself!!  Do it now.  Double down and send another payment to make up for your cheap ass first payment.

Seriously? Don't send him a cent. He didn't do anything, just hold up a sign! No one will hear more about bitcoin if I donated 10btc.

You are wrong and dumb.  

If these guys get paid, more will attempt the stunt.  Everytime this appears on TV, 1000s more people learn about and get started with bitcoin.  That increases the value of the entire system.  It is free press.  It is called 'Rambo marketing'.  YOU will benefit each time someone does this.  

Now you go pay $10 X 2 because you are so stupid you have a 'stupid' penalty to pay also.

Lol dude. Can't tell if trolling or serious.
You go first, I insist. You go ahead and send him $100 if you like, prove you are not a "cheap ass" like you call me. Personally I think any donation is better than none, 40 cents or other.

Pardon. It was not  purposely. Just wanted to answer to the post but somehow post only the quote. Still thanks for admiting

While its clearly attention seeking, public displays like this are excellent to show the uninformed how quick and easy its is to instantly send money to anyone in the world with Bitcoin.

Not just to anyone. You have absolutely no idea who this person is yet you are 100% sure the person is going to receive the money. That almost crazy talk magic.
